You don't even want to call me godfather

“But they are the same cigarette.”

Koshe also bluntly exposed the truth.

"This should be the last one..."

Koshe did not respond to Lapland's pun. He turned his back and continued smoking. Perhaps he could not bear to look at Lapland's face.

"Hey, Koshe," Laplande suddenly said again, "Tell me, if that thing hadn't happened, would we still be best friends like before? Or would our relationship be further developed?"

"……maybe."

Koshe said with his back to Lappland, in a tone that even he himself was unsure of.

'Msisha.'

"I am here."

'Can I discuss something with you?'

"Can't you do it yourself?"

"You know that, Msissa, and you are always annoying when you ask this question even though you know it."

“…I understand. Leave it to me.”

As Msishha finished speaking, a cloud of black and purple smoke gradually appeared beside Koshe.

The smoke gradually spread, and an ominous feeling filled the air.

In the smoke, a huge wolf head slowly emerged, followed by a front paw, which dug deeply into the ground, pulling itself out of the smoke.

"Roar--!!"

The hound came to the real world and couldn't help but howl towards the sky.

The roar that resounded through the sky reverberated throughout the city and even reached the distant woods.

Chapter 34: Deep Sea Hunter

"call out--"

The sharp arrows grazed the tree.

A deer looking for food under a tree lowered its head, kicked its hind legs, and fled to the side.

“Swoosh—swoosh.”

The second crossbow arrow followed closely, but it stuck in the tree trunk, which gave the deer a chance to react. It shuttled back and forth between several trees and disappeared into the woods in a few seconds.

"Tsk, let it run away."

In the bushes not far away, a girl holding a crossbow stood up and complained.

She put away her tools, put the crossbow into the crossbow bag, put it on her back, and left.

When she returned to the makeshift camp, many people were busy setting up things and dividing the spoils.

They had just completed a large-scale operation not long ago, destroying a number of smuggling gangs and seizing their weapons and supplies.

And now, they are sharing the "stolen goods" with each other.

"Hey, Zoya," a middle-aged man saw her, greeted her and asked, "Where have you been?"

"This operation was very fruitful. I want to go hunt some prey and bring it back to celebrate."

Zoya replied.

Looking at Zoya with empty hands, the man said, "It doesn't look like it's going well."

"Yes, I missed."

This man is the leader of this mercenary group. Unlike the group of Sarkaz lunatics in Kazdel, their group is mainly bounty hunters.

Accept mercenaries and collect bounties, but don't risk your life.

Safety comes first, mission comes second. Generally speaking, he never takes on particularly dangerous missions, even if the reward is high, he will never joke with the lives of his companions.

To some extent, he is a very willful person, but he is not annoying. At least, he is still a good leader.

Who doesn’t want their boss to be a good person who always cares about his subordinates?

"You don't have any ability to use?"

The team leader seemed a little surprised at Zoya's failure and asked.

Zoya shook her head and said, "If you keep relying on that kind of thing, you won't be able to get stronger. Besides, I know that my hard power is not that good. Compared with other snipers in the regiment, I am far inferior."

Zoya is a new member who has joined the group for only a few months, and her Originium skills are very special.

Within a certain range, she can make others fall into a drowsy state, and if their consciousness is not strong enough, they will quickly fall asleep.

It can be said that most of the credit for the success of this operation to eliminate the smuggling gang goes to Zoya.

Therefore, the team leader also values ​​her very much.

"Your abilities are more auxiliary, and you should spend more time developing your Originium skills."

The head of the delegation made suggestions.

"I'm not infected, so how far can I develop this ability?" Zoya said firmly, "Like what you said, my ability is just auxiliary. Instead of wasting time on this, I might as well practice my shooting skills."

Zoya's abilities were very suitable for infiltration or assassination operations, but she had always been obsessed with accuracy in shooting. Even though her Originium skills were highly adaptable, she had never used her abilities outside of missions.

She didn't seem to like her Originium skills.

"You are really stubborn, Zoya," the team leader was also helpless. Every time she mentioned this topic, she had this attitude. He could only say, "Next time when I am free, I will ask some sniper veterans in the team to guide you. It should be of some help to you."

It is precisely because the team leader is a good person that once he notices the various thoughts of his subordinates, he will try his best to satisfy them as long as it is not excessive.

"Then I'll trouble you, Captain."

Zoya's attitude gave him a headache. Although she had joined the mercenary group for some time, she always gave off an aura that kept strangers away.

In other words, you can't get close to her.

why?

Because most of the other people in the group are infected.

That's right, this is a mercenary group composed of infected people. It is for this reason that they are stationed in the woods outside the city of Syracuse. After all, if such a large group of infected people land, it will definitely cause a riot.

"When did she come back?"

Zoya looked at the silver-haired woman under a tree not far away and suddenly asked the team leader.

"Who knows? Hasn't she always been elusive like this?"

The team leader also gave an ambiguous answer.

The woman under the tree was wearing a black and blue hunter's hat and had a signature broadsword that was as tall as a person on her side.

As if she sensed the two people's gazes, she straightened her fin-like hunter hat and hid her eyes under the shadow of the brim.

Since coming to land, she has been frequently moving between various groups and organizations.

It's not for the money, but her race can't stand loneliness. Even if there is someone around, it is better than living alone.

This reminded her of when she was still in the sea...

……

With the last swing of the sword, the twisted monster finally died.

The sea had become extremely turbid, with countless corpses sinking beside it.

There are sea heirs and deep-sea hunters.

She pulled out the long sword that was stuck in Haisi's head and looked around in confusion. Her companions were no longer there.

This should have been a moment worthy of cheering and celebration. They once again killed the sea heirs, and the dead deep-sea hunters also completed their mission.

But, she is the only one alive.

From beginning to end, she was walking on a bloody road.

She thought they were the heroes of this world, that they were saving everyone and preventing the sea from harming the people on land.

But now, she began to doubt whether everything they did was really meaningful?

Every time a Hai Si is killed, a new Hai Si will appear soon, and it will be stronger, without end.

It was as if... it was because of their massacre of Haisi that the world gradually became filthy.

Everything seems to be caused by them, making the world more dangerous bit by bit.

Are they unsung heroes, or...

Her brain suddenly felt numb.

Even in the deep sea, the sound still hit her eardrums. The huge figure rose from the bottom of the sea, giving people a sense of unknown fear.

Isn't it over yet?

A new Hai Si has emerged, and even if she is left alone, she must face the abyss and hold back thousands of enemies.

But who else can stay with her and guard the bridge?

Her tears were washed away by the sea water, and she once again raised her sword and walked towards Hai Si.

A few hours later, a red glow appeared in the sky above the sea.

The sun rose little by little as if carrying a heavy weight. Finally, when it broke through the sky, a figure jumped out of the sea.

The woman dragged her tired body towards the shore, and the long sword behind her dragged a deep groove on the beach.

With the last thought of the past in mind, she looked back at the sea.

The dazzling light of the sun hurts people's eyes, and the clouds around it also have colors.

At this time, not only the sun, the sea and the clouds were shining, but even she was bright.

She smiled, tears streaming down her face.

Chapter 35: Unexpected

"Um, your name is Skadi, right?"

Two figures stood in front of the woman, pulling her out of her memories.

"Is there a problem?"

With a brief answer, Skadi pulled down the fin-like hunter hat to cover her bright red eyes.

Is she the kind of person who lives in seclusion?

While her companions in the sea were still there, she felt that she was not.

The two people in front of him seemed to be stunned by something, and one of the girls opened her mouth slightly, looking thoughtful, as if she seemed to be about to say something but stopped.

"No, it's okay, we'll leave first. Sorry for disturbing you."

Another girl hurriedly pulled that girl away.

Skadi watched the two people leave, lowered her head silently, with a bit of helplessness in her disappointment.

Why were they hiding from her?

She had killed many sea creatures in the sea and had seen many people and things on land, but the only thing she could never see through was the thoughts of the people on land.

Speaking of which, how long has it been since she last saw the ocean?

"Hum~hum~"

A long song was heard in the camp.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the source of the singing.

This person started singing again, everyone thought so.
